Oh my, where are the 6's when I really need one? This is absolutely superb. You grabbed me from the very beginning. Yes, too often children are seen as the hopes and dreams of the parents. I just love the progression of this. Awesome work with this one, and definitely worth of 6 stars.

wow, Michael, I truly like this. Had no idea where it was going when you started but it plays well just like a beautiful, yet tragic piano concerto. I just finished a flash fiction piece about musicianship and life. Interesting. Hoping to get back to potlatch this weekend. Love my husband, but he distracts me when he is home.

HAAAAAA! That's cute about your husband. I know what you mean. :))
I'm delighted you liked this. I liked the idea and I'm thrilled it came across the way I wanted. YES! I've been sick and kind of out of it lately. I'll look for your piece when I'm feeling better. Sounds most interesting. Thanks so much, mikey

Once again you have impressed me with a wonderfully well written post. I really enjoyed reading. I wish all bullies could be eradicated, unfortunately it's cycle. I tried to inform a parent once that I had received complains that her daughter was a bully. Her answer was she's aggressive but not a bully.

Hi Mikey!
I hope you are feeling well again. What an intriguing script. It is quite the clever way to tell the story of your hands. Kudos for the innovative approach to the challenge.
Centering the story on playing the piano was a stroke of genius. So integral to the story. Thank you for sharing the details and how they have shaped your life.
This is a great read!

I wondered where this was going, whether he was going to end up as a virtuoso pianist or a tough guy or just an ordinary caring fllow. The muted "climax" did not seem out of place in this well told script. In performance a great deal would depend on the camera and that is the way modern film technique is going, let the pictures tell the story.
Apparently it is a hangover from the days of the silent movies when they had to. It is the way TV drama is going too. I personally prefer my stories to emerge through the dialogue but I guess I am just old fashioned. But I'm happy to be that.

Unpredictable, touching, and your setting for each scene was outstanding, Michael. This progression of hands through life is honest and intriguing.

I must say, this is a surprise and a wonderful one. How unique and involving this is. I could see this so clearly. A moving story that I know to be personal and yet it is so very easy to relate to. One of yhe very best things you have written. NG
